Oh boy, this might trigger some Sony fans

A7r IV + 135mm GM produce image quality out of this world, but I shoot motorsport and it's a bit of a sluggish camera for that. I'm also a bit tired of waiting on the buffer to clear.
So I was thinking, H2s + fast CFExpress card with 16-50mm and 55-140mm lenses coupled with 20 fps would probably give a lot more keepers (I do shoot very slow panning, often down to 1/20th).
I always shoot during the day, almost always when it's sunny, worst case scenario cloudy and rain.
The only concern I have is that I do manipulate my photos a lot. Sometimes raise shadows by +100 in Lightroom. A7r IV manages this with almost no image degradation (with some noise cancelation). Not sure about a high end asp-c sensor.

So what do you think? Worth switching?

Personally I'd pick the 90/2 over the 55-140 since it's an equivilant 135 along with being one stop brighter than the 55-140 and is also one of the best AF lenses Fuji makes. If you need more reach you could always rent the 200/2 until it goes on sale which actually happens pretty regularly.

As for shadows the sensor in the H2s is only 26mp which IIRC is the same pixel density as the sensor in the A7r IV so that should be a very similar experience.
